Printed circuit board

A circuit board consisting of a plurality of circuit board areas, wherein the individual circuit board areas comprise at least one layer made of an insulating base material and a conducting or conductive pattern located on or in the base material, comprising:

• a substrate material,
• at least one registration mark formed within and through the substrate material,
• a first circuit board area arranged on the substrate material, said first circuit board area being oriented relative to the registration mark, and
• a plurality of connections of the conducting or conductive patterns of the first circuit board area to the conducting or conductive patterns of at least one additional circuit board area,
• wherein the circuit board additionally comprises:
• the at least one additional circuit board area being arranged on the same or common surface of the substrate material as the first circuit board area, being adjoining or at least partially overlapping the first circuit board area, and being oriented relative to the registration mark;
• and
• wherein further layers of a multilayer circuit board are arranged on the circuit board areas disposed on the substrate material and the further layers have substantially identical heights;
• wherein at least one electronic component is additionally arranged on the substrate material, and embedded in the at least one additional circuit board area, and contactable with at least one conducting or conductive pattern, said component being orientable relative to the at least one registration mark.
